Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

Just look at my last photo! I was thrilled when I discovered AeroGardens and realized how easy it is to grow herbs and salad greens, even in a house with very little natural light. This week I acquired brand new redesigned AeroGarden Bounty 2019! It took a couple of minutes to unpack everything and less than 5 minutes to set up Bounty: - put the telescopic light pole into the unit and light hood on the pole - plug in into outlet - Add water (appx gallon of tap water, let it sit for few hours to de-chlorinate) - add the recommended amount of nutrients (included) - drop in the seed pods (herb packet included), cover with domes (included) - Press "Quick Plant" button, select Herbs and set clock and timer for when you want the lights on/off DESIGN: clean and sleek, very different from older models and a welcome modern look LIGHTS: can be temporarily turned OFF, ON or DIMMED- I love this feature! You can adjust when they turn on/off. DISPLAY: shows the water level and will warn you when it gets low, on the LEFT - how many days it is since the garden was started (0 on first day) , on the RIGHT: when to add nutrients (in 14 day). It's helpful that "#of days" can be adjusted, when moving plants that were started in another garden. VACATION MODE: can be turned ON/OFF with single press of the button and customized from MENU MENU: well organized into 4 main sections (Garden Settings, Light, Pump Food) . A GARDEN STATUS is especially helpful with stats of current settings in 2 screens- Garden Type (Herbs), Mode (Germination when garden is started), when Lights com on/off, Days planted, Pumps cycle (how often it come on and how long it runs) and WIFI: set up WiFi to add it to Aerogarden app so you can monitor your garden from your phone! I will be updating this review as my herb garden grows. Day 1 - some signs of life already in basil pods. Day 7 - everything germinated, except for Parsley and Mint pods Day 14 - a reminder came up to add nutrients on both the garden itself and on AeroGarden app. Every pod's seeds germinated and growing well. Day 28 - a reminder came up to add nutrients. Day 30 - every herb is now 2-5 inches high, mint is small, but healthy and strong (see photo) Day 50 - trimmed basil twice already, today I had enough for a cup of pesto. Love it!
